Forget Commando, lag pistol ain't worth it. I would do:
Master Smuggler
Master Pistoleer
BH 3X4X --> Terrain Negotiation, Jedi Bounties, and Desperado..too cruel
I've been looking for a good enough reason to drop TKA

Damn, nvm, that doesn't work... I'd probably drop a little pistol in that case, probably the Accuracy or Speed lines.

Just so you guys know, all us BH don't agree with this "fix". I would say the DEV's just separated the BH community in a BIG way. Everyone over there is fighting each other now. In a few days (even hours) the BH community could split over this one issue.
Anyway, you gus will get a revamp before us, no worries. I think the DEV's are trying to buy time for BH and don't plan on giving us a revamp.
But, good luck with fixing smuggler. i was once a smuggler and you guys that stayed with it deserve a fixing.

I would say that this sets a very interesting precedent Caylin, I have to agree. I would assess that this would pair well with GM's idea of making the pistol xp more optional.
We'll see what happens.

Aye... whenever I thought of GM's idea though, it was along the lines of making all specials in smuggler akin to what is found with Overcharge 2.
If you are unfamiliar with it, it is a special that can be used with just about any type of ranged weapon in the game.

I never thought they would do this. Yet there is quite a difference from removing parts of the prerequisite, and adding different ones as some smugglers are wanting. I wonder how this can evolve.

We are going to remove the Trapping, Hunting, and Survival Scout lines from the Bounty Hunter prerequisites.
I don't see how it can with out changing some of our current professions. I am a TKM, Master Pistoleer, Master Smuggler. I have no skill points left. So if they think instead of giving us mods to move faster they can make us get scout they are way off. I saw the notes from today's patch Smugglers can no longer use crates while slicing.
All I really read was "HAH We got you again you FUKKERS!!! Now make sure your credit card is up todate!"
What kind of crap is this as if it wasn't bad enough that we can't make our own tools to slice weapons and armor. Now we have to take each one out too. I feel for anyone grind this profession. I'm starting to think xbox live was better.

Maybe I'm forgetting my history... but isn't this the second time they've done this? I thought Commando was originally master brawler / master marksman, and that they dropped the brawler reqs down to unarmed.

You are correct, though everything blurs together for me, so I can't remember if that was in BETA or live...

ahh...notice they did NOT change a prereq from one to ANOTHER...they DROPPED some.
changing a prereq from say pistol IV to ranged IV would add a new layer of problems...like what about those of us that would suddenly find we didn't HAVE the prereq for Smuggler any longer?

The new super pistol template is Master Pistoleer, BH Pistols, Smuggler Dirty Fighting, and Novice Commando. With 18 skills points to spare. While I'm glad for the BH's that this is getting changed for them; I'm wary as to whether or not the new template will be imbalancing or not. Should prove interesting.
Why Novice Commando?? I made the Mistake of doing that. I figured "wouldnt it be cool to be a smuggler and get to use the launcher pistol!!" I only thought of this cuz i got a message saying i qualified for novice commando. So there i went and picked up novice commando and started using a launcher pistol. Thought is was cool with the explosions and all. Then found out even though it was a pistol, i was getting HEAVY WEOPONS XP instead. 
Was I pissed 
I wasted all that combat xp. So did i miss something there?? Is there a weopon or skills that help with novice commando??
